Creating a Slide Master

If you have a Slide Master, you don't have to format every single slide in a presentation with the same basic design and text.

To Create a Slide Master:

• Start a new presentation or open an existing one.
• Click on View Master Slide Master.
• A slide with placeholders appears.

• Click on Format Background.
• A dialog box appears.

• Choose a background color. For more colors, click on More Colors.
• Select the text in the Master title style placeholder.
• Click on the down-pointing arrow next to the font in the Formatting toolbar.

OR

• Choose Format Font and choose a font, font color and font style.
